Info on my first Hinderer

fng5 · Jan 28, 2019

hello,
I picked up my first Hinderer over the weekend in a trade and I came here looking for info. I was surprised to see that the RHK subsection was closed 3 years ago. I went to google and it looks like the RHK forum on his own website is closed as well, weird.

Anyway, I was wondering what generation my XM-18 3.5” fatty harpoon tanto battlefield pickup is. And anything else you guys could tell me would be awesome as well.

Thanks! Pics...

I don’t know much about Hinderer knives. But that’s a beauty. I think there are markings on the blade tang when disassembled that can give you some info on it.

Thanks. I may have to just take it apart and have a look then

From what I've seen, most of the discussion and such is done on their facebook group.

I don't see a lock bar insert (which would rule out gen 5 & 6), so I would estimate that a gen 4 given the time frame they did the battlefield series.

And the time frame of fatties. I would think gen 4 as well.

Cool, thanks guys! I was figuring 4 too. Yeah, the only resource that looked to still be live was Facebook but I don’t have an account.

This one is 100% a Gen 4 as all Fatties were Gen 4! Hope you enjoy the Battlefield Pickup, I personally love the way they look. If you have other questions about it feel free to shoot me a PM or email (scott@usamadeblade.com) anytime!

Congrats on an awesome first Hinderer!
